Joshuah's House

The Plural Marriage Family Dream Part 1

We have a dream of what our family will look like, and if you are potentially interested in joining us, here is what would await you, what you would be a vital, active participant in.

We dream of a big family, up to seven wives and our husband, and a whole lot of children, as many as God might grant us. We hope that our family will be multi-generational soon, either with old or left-alone parents of the wives to join us, or when our children are old enough and take over what will be prepared for them, so that there can be progress both in Kingdom Building and in the raising of a God fearing, patriarchal, independent, self-sufficient, big family that "shall speak with the enemy in the gate" (Ps 127:5).

In the family we dream of, our husband is responsible for the money income generating, preferably from home. The wives all work in the home, they don't work for anyone else but the family, and all of them, husband and wives, work on multiple streams of income - bread labor will include generating money, and it will also include many other economic activities from food production and sewing of clothes to building or enlarging the house to maintaining of alternative energy sources that support independence, and countless other small or big things. The internet will be helpful in generating money, and otherwise, we will work with our own hands (1 Th 4:11). Whatever we use and own is ultimately God's - and we are good stewards of it all.

In the family we dream of, everybody maintains his and her individuality. Nobody is forced into something he or she is not. Everybody uses his and her individual, special talents for the best of the whole family. Chores in the household will be distributed according to inclination just as well as according to necessity. How the household operates will largely be the wives' part. A household chores manager will certainly help to ensure that work is distributed evenly and according to inclination, and done regularly.
